Shadow Electronics Stompin'Bass: Stomping Goes Digital

July 22, 2008
Shadow Electronics Stompin'Bass

Shadow Electronics has created a design for the bootless or weak ankled -- or Country-Western guitarists who play a lot of gigs on foam stages -- the Stompin'Bass. If you don't have a percussive instrument in your band or have an extreme phobia of getting gum stuck to the soles of your shoes this rosewood housed pedal with a Shadow NanoMAG pickup can pick up the back-beat.

The design signifies that intuitive thinking went into the Stompin'Bass. The angled top allows for toe or heel stomping and the bottom of the pedal is covered with an anti-slip material so you won't go all Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci in Home Alone 2. A removable extension keeps your foot in a more comfortable position for long periods of play where stomping is essential.

The NanoMAG pickup and active electronics supplies the Stomin'Bass with its bass sound. The NanoMAG is a humbucker pickup, and therefore removes any 50 / 60 Hz hum. Biber Hermann uses one of these, and Shadow shot a video of the pedal in action:


Be sure to watch until 2:22 for an extreme close-up of the stomping mayhem!
